pk_absorption_zo: PK absorption zero-order

Description Usage Arguments Details Value See Also

View source: R/pk_component.R

Description

This building block declares a zero-order absorption component for a pharmacokinetic model.

Usage

1
pk_absorption_zo(prm_mat = prm_log_normal("mat", median = 0.5, var_log = 0.1))

Arguments

prm_mat

Parameter model for the mean absorption time (MAT)

Details

PK components

PK components can be added to a pk_model and exist in three different types: absorption, distribution, and elimination. The absorption component is optional, distribution and elimination are not and need to be added for the PK model to be valid.

A PK model can only have one component of each type and adding a component with an already existing type will replace the previous definition. For example, the distribution component will be a two compartment model in the following snippet:

1
2
3
4
5
6
7

Parameter models

All PK component functions allow the specification of the parameter model via their arguments. Arguments that refer to a parameter start with the prefix prm_. The default parameter model can be deduced from the default arguments in the usage section of the help entry. The parameter name, specified via the name= argument of the parameter model building block allows the renaming of the model parameters.

For example, the parameter prm_vc= refers to the central volume of distribution parameter in the one compartment distribution PK component and the default parameter model is a log-normal distribution. The following code block specifies a normal distribution parameter model and names the parameter v:

1
2
3
pk_distribution_1cmp(
    prm_vc = prm_normal("v", mean = 50, var = 25)
)

Value

A building block of type 'pk_component'
